Abstract

A system for providing interactive storytelling includes an output device configured to output storytelling content to a user, wherein the storytelling content includes one or more of audio data or visual data, a playback controller configured to provide storytelling content to the output device, one or more sensors configured to generate measurement data by capturing an action of the user, an abstraction device configured to generate extracted characteristics by analyzing the measurement data, an action recognition device configured to determine a recognized action by analyzing a time behavior of the measurement data and/or the extracted characteristics. The playback controller is additionally configured to interrupt provision of storytelling content, to trigger the abstraction device and/or the action recognition device to determine a recognized action, and to continue provision of storytelling content based on the recognized action. A corresponding method, a computer program product, and a computer-readable storage medium are also disclosed.
